I was blessed to meet Jerry a few years ago. He was such a very kind person and supportive of the sacrifices made by police officers, especially knowing what happened with my family. He would extend many thoughtful gestures to people and you could tell it gave him joy to make someone smile.
He never forgot I had mentioned Winston Churchill !
I have had him, Nancy and his family members in my prayers. He is deeply missed.

Jerry was a loving brother and always kept us guessing. He was kind and generous with everyone around him. Jerry was adventurous and always had a funny story to tell. He will be missed.

Jerry was known for being the life of the party. How do I replace a great friend of 61 years? You are missed already.
